Understanding Gold Hallmarking

When purchasing gold jewelry, it is essential to check for the hallmark, which verifies the purity of gold. Here is how hallmarking works:

22-carat gold (used in jewelry) is 91.6% pure.

Some jewelers may sell adulterated gold at 89% or 90% purity under the name of 22-carat gold.

Hallmark indications:

375: 37.5% pure gold

585: 58.5% pure gold

750: 75.0% pure gold

916: 91.6% pure gold

990: 99.0% pure gold

999: 99.9% pure gold

How to Check Gold Hallmarking

Each carat level of gold has a specific hallmark:

24 carat: 999

23 carat: 958

22 carat: 916

21 carat: 875

18 carat: 750

To calculate the percentage of gold in your jewelry, use this formula: (Carat value / 24) × 100. For example, for 22-carat gold: (22/24) × 100 = 91.6% purity.

Always verify the hallmark on gold jewelry to ensure authenticity and purity before making a purchase.
